Beer: Ratings & Reviews

Surprisingly decent bitter beer. Wafts hops. A substantive bitterness. Drinkable. Some lace, some retained head, medium yellow. Joshua R’s bottle. A tad thin, but still some tasty stuff.I would have this again.Not the citrus expected of an APA however.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light citrus notes with some lightly sweet malt backbone is quiet refreshing. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt with some medium citrus notes with not much bitterness in the aftertaste. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well brewed overall with refreshing taste profile though hops could be a bit more pronounced.

Appearance - Slightly hazy gold colour with an average size fizzy light beige coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation and there is some decent lacing. The head lasted for around 4-5 minutes.

Smell - Malts, citrus, hops, something astringent

Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and I can taste hops, grapefruit/lemon and some nice apricot/peach. Unfortunately there is a bit of an astringent flavour that seems to be common in Quebec IPA's. It ends with a fairly bitter aftertaste.

Overall - Worth trying, especially considering the lack of semi-decent IPA's in Quebec. If only that astringent/medicine like flavour wasn't there..
